Questions
About Kyoto
Why does Limelightlist hold a gathering on succession?
- Most founders with a majority stake have no written succession plan. The Kyoto gathering exists so sixteen founders can work through key-person risk, shareholder agreements that hold under stress, and the difference between a successor and a caretaker, off the record.
Do I need a succession plan to attend?
- No. The Kyoto gathering is designed for members who do not yet have one. Members leave with a clearer view of what theirs should contain and introductions to members who have written one.
